Papa Kerry's Gift

This was the scene in our house the day after my family Christmas. Dad gave Cade a Lego set. Wednesday afternoon Cade was all ready to get his new set put together....

This was the scene by that evening....

That's usually how Lego building goes around our house. Again Jay warned Cade for the 100th time that if he didn't stop dumping every bag in the box at once he would no longer help him. And again Cade knew his dad was only bluffing...

We were a family of three who was in the infertility/adoption cycle for almost 6 years. During that time we experienced 5 failed treatement cycles, 2 failed adoption placements and the loss of 6 adopted embryos. After officially waiting with our agency for 3 years, 8 months and 1 day we were blessed with the birth and adoption of our daughter Camryn Lee. Our adoption was a long journey, but looking back I know there is nothing I would change. God really worked on me during those years and I'm grateful for that. Every time I look at Cade and Camryn I know that God's timing was absolutely perfect!
